So I’m back in Singapore. It’s been 18 months since I’ve been here last.
Useful to know: If your flight gets into Changi past 2300, forget about the MRT. Be resigned to paying for a S$35 cab ride instead. There are van shuttles, but they don’t run much after 2300. I was there at 0000 and they wanted me to wait until 0100 to share a van. Yah, right. I’ll cough up the extra dough to get to the guesthouse. This is where I’m staying. Right in Little India.
But some things haven’t changed. Like how it’s a freekin’ blast furnace (83 degrees f) at 0100! That’s 1 AM for you people who don’t do time math…
Which means that it gets worse when the sun is out. Eeeeeeeeeee

Hopeful thinking lah!
Hanging here in the Silver Kris Lounge, having a Tiger Beer, using free wi-fi and just came outta the shower.
Now this is the way to prepare for a flight!

Sigh…

You know our favourite daan taat place, Tai Cheong Bakery is closing, right?
Since they announced their constructive eviction, it’s been hella busy with 1-2 hour waits in queue becoming the norm.
Well I queued up
and got some daan taat. Mmmmmmm!
Too bad lah! They won’t keep on the plane. But I got mine!
Burp!

Better add BKK to the category name.
Because I’m going to spend a few days in BKK! I’ve already been warned by Duker about the following facts:
A: BKK is hot.
B: HKG weather is cooler compared to BKK
C: BKK is definitely NOT SIN or HKG.
D: BKK is cheap! I’m staying here for three days, private double for US$40 TOTAL!! Wah!
Lots of photo-whoring forthcoming…

Somewhere in Causeway Bay last Sunday, 0200 hours.

Another entry in my series, “Emergency Motorcycles”.
You saw the paramedic motorcycle from London last year? Now here’s a HK Police bike. They use these little bikes in the city.

In the New Territories, I’ve seen full size BMWs just like back home. The universal ice breaker with motorcycle cops? “How’s the bike”?

Langham Place is this huge mall/hotel complex smack in the middle of Mong Kok where the worst of the hom-sup district once was. It has a really nice MUJI and other similar shops.
There’s art too!

Quality advertising for a quality product!

Just dun try to take on airplane lah!
